A statement of quiet aggression against the background of chaos and turbulence that is today, the eleventh Stone Island Shadow Project steps in and leans forward. The collection is built on classic menswear archetypes honed to an edge just shy of the subversive. Atemporal and eminently wearable, the 5919 collection is built for those who make moves that turn obstacles into opportunities. Details and designs are informed by equal parts sartorial tradition and subcultural edge. Fabrics are high speed and low drag; unfussy and technical to the degree that they are practical. Colors balance credibility with flashes of energy and high-fidelity saturation. Pattern and graphic infusions complete a package made possible only through the engineering and expertise that is Stone Island.

Salomon s/lab exo twinskin short m combines exo muscle support and light compression with a stretch-woven outer shell. Twinskin construction and a single-layer thigh panel help reduce chafing, while advancedskin activedry fabric and an elasticated waistband support comfort on long runs.
Fall/Winter 2011 campaign imagery from Nike x Undercover Gyakusou, Jun Takahashi’s running project with Nike. Shot in Kyoto, the Running Monks film and lookbook place technical running apparel against temple architecture, shrine paths, moss, stone, and woodland.
The collection frames running as a quiet, ritualized practice rather than a purely athletic one. Slim outer layers, tights, gloves, caps, and tonal performance pieces sit within a muted autumn palette, connecting Nike running technology with Undercover’s controlled, monastic visual language.















These pants a cut slightly shorter for better running comfort. Great for slightly harsher weather conditions. Insideout construction for seamless fit inside. From the Nike Running Gyakusou collection. Made in Japan.




The Archery Hall, one of two sports pavilions FT Architects (Katsuya Fukushima, Hiroko Tominaga) built in 2013 at Kogakuin University, west Tokyo. Each is a column-free room of 7.2 by 10.8 m under an exposed timber roof of horizontal and vertical members, bolt-and-nut jointed. The archery hall uses small timber sections normally used for furniture. Photographs by Shigeo Ogawa.


Gyakusou is Nike Running's collaboration with Jun Takahashi of Undercover, named for the Japanese word for running a course in reverse. Details from the Spring/Summer 2011 jacket: a lightweight ripstop shell in white, grey and red, with a large perforated mesh panel across the back and shoulders for ventilation, bonded and taped seams, a stowable hood, and reflective Gyakusou branding at the shoulder. The vent openings are backed with mesh; the hem and cuffs are elasticated ripstop.

















The theme, again, is running and the pieces – that include two editions of LUNARSPIDER – were developed by the running division of the swoosh brand, having technical attributes and performance as main concerns




Text description provided by the architects. The House of Yagi is designed with the idea of an incomplete/complete form. Unlike other projects, the final stage of construction for this house was not aiming towards a finish stage, but to let the owner experience the sense of completion after living here. Interior space of the house is designed to maximize the interaction to its surrounding environment.







In 2021 designer Jun Takahashi has turned to some of his long-time friends in the Tokyo fashion scene to offer their take on UC’s signature hybrid style with a series of leather sleeve down jackets with various mixed materials and detailing. Created in partnership with peers sacai, Kolor, Fragment design, TheSoloist and N.Hoolywood. The jackets all take a different tact to exploring the same style of garment.















This private residence was designed by Kidosaki Architects Studio. It is located on the edge of the Yatsugatake Mountains in Nagano, Japan.







































Designed by architect Shin Ohori of General Design for Setsumasa and Mami Kobayashi, founders of General Research. Located in the Chichibu mountain range northwest of Tokyo, the site serves as both a personal weekend shelter and a field-testing ground for product development.
The structure is built on an elevated platform using locally harvested larch wood and features removable walls made from fiber-reinforced plastic. It includes two yellow dome tents used as permanent sleeping areas—one placed on a secondary deck and the other on the roof of the main volume. The central enclosed space houses a kitchen and dining area.
The shelter is equipped with electricity, hot water, internet access, and basic amenities, including a clawfoot bathtub. The location is remote but accessible, allowing the Kobayashis to engage in maintenance tasks and outdoor work while still performing professional duties remotely. The architecture is intentionally simple and functional, emphasizing modularity, environmental responsiveness, and a hybrid of modernist design with primitive outdoor living elements.
The project operates as a live-in testing platform for lifestyle and gear integration in a real-world setting, merging domestic space with performance wear prototyping. It represents an approach to architecture and living that prioritizes adaptability, utility, and a direct relationship with the natural environment.



















The SUBSECTION SERIES is a fragrance collection by Visvim, inspired by founder Hiroki Nakamura’s encounter with French fragrance designer Blaise Mautin over 20 years ago. The series includes candles, room sprays, and diffusers, each available in various scents. Notable fragrances are NO.1 F.I.L., a blend featuring patchouli and sandalwood, and NO.7 KYOTO, inspired by a morning visit to Kyoto’s Sanjusangendo temple.
